WordPress and Content Security Policy April 12th, 2010

Lately, I have been implementing the server logic for Content Security Policy in WordPress. I was very pleased to see that the WordPress community opened up the tracking bug for this feature around the time we first blogged about it. One of the neat things about working for Mozilla is that contributions to other important open source projects are treated as valid, valuable uses of our time.

Today, I posted my first patch to WordPress, still a work in progress, which adds an administration panel (see below) for configuring CSP. One of the features I’m rather happy with is “Suggest Policy”, which analyzes the content in the user’s blog and recommends a policy based on the content types and sources it finds.

Next I’ll be working on moving the remaining inline script into external script files. Stay tuned for further updates!
